attempting a dissertation on generation of user interfaces at the chair of Prof. Eickel at the TU Munich, funded by a grant of Siemens. I aborted the dissertation (others did too), because my thoughts were too practical and not formal enough. My ideas (connect the user interface to the application by method calls similar to object oriented programming) were said to be good, but not expressed formally enough - too much like an engineer, too little like a mathematician. The project has been finished by others.
